حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمُلَائِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلَّمَ رَجُلًا أَنْ يَقُولَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ: اللَّهُمَّ، وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ؛ رَهْبَةً مِنْكَ وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، وَلَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ taught a man to say when he went to bed: "O Allah, I have turned my face to You, and I have entrusted my back to You, and I have consigned my affair to You, and I have surrendered myself to You; out of fear of You and desire for You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You revealed, and Your Prophet whom You sent. If he dies that night, he will be forgiven."
